White people

[Gil Dobie]

Translation: All you Bubbas and Jim Bobs struggling to make ends meet need to check your privilege. When you're black mall security follows you for no reason, policemen (allegedly) pull you over just for being black, and policemen shoot young black men for no reason (we've given a lot of false alarms of this lately, but believe us!). You're poor because you're a hateful, ignorant hilljack that only cares about God and guns but those blacks are poor because someone once called them the N-word and someone once dressed up as a young urban black male for Halloween. Also stuff that happened 100-200 years ago you had nothing to do with. Before you judge walk a mile in the shoes of a black person with a stable income whose kids will get favoritism over yours in college admissions 'cuz diversity. I'm sure you wouldn't trade places with them. And if you have any problem with this and push back against it you're just a hateful bigot.

Times have not been great for non-college educated whites out in flyover country and they've been getting a taste of what its been like for a lot of minority types for a long time. Bubba and Jim Bob don't like the fact that all the n****** get free Cadillacs from Obama every Christmas and the illegals get high-paying manufacturing jobs as soon as they cross the border.

"If you can convince the lowest white man that he is better than the highest colored man he won't notice that you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on and he'll empty his pockets for you." Lyndon Baines Johnson.

I don't think you read it very closely did you...

I sure did.

Even the part where she takes the unique and unheard of tack of saying Trump voters voted for things like "misogyny" and the almost unheard of "white supremacy". Must be the first time I've heard that this cycle.

It's a troll culture. I think many of the posters on this board are familiar enough with things to not take racist and sexist posts seriously and as we all know...there have been some doozies over the years. An outsider reading some of these threads would be shocked at the same stuff we're conditioned to reading and chuckling at on a daily basis. Along the same lines, you mention getting a kick out of your liberal Facebook friends...I have some conservative FB friends that would make Alpha and 93 blush with their posts.

Trump is a master troll and his success has brought this even further out of the wood work. I honestly think much of the misogyny and racist allegations are based on it. For every millenial and sensitive liberal seeking a safe space, you have a disenfranchised dude tired of political correctness given a green light and a platform to have some fun.

Chizzy mentioned the author is a Canadian socialist. Canadians (including Dakotans) in general have very poor sarcasm detectors (which is odd for a country that produces so many great comics). If she's an academic socialist type...even worse. If she happens to be a millenial...

Poor girl is probably just literally reporting what she's literally been reading.

Nope - just keeping an open ear at the local diners where the camo-hat-with-fishhook crowd gathers. When they don't have anywhere else they need to be.

JSO's flip to his real self has been something to behold. We need to name some kind of award after him

I think the "Darwin award" is already taken.

Only been to 1 diner in Illinois, at a place called Woody's in small town of Le Roy.

Illinois is a drive-thru state on the way to Florida.

BTW:

When will you learn that Hitler and Trump is apples to oranges? You've lost that argument many times over.

If I end up at Woody's on the way to Florida I'm doing it wrong.

You should stop at the southern end sometime, whole different State. Not at all what I expected when I moved here.

Please tell me it is different than what I see along the I-64 corridor.

We've stopped in Benton before. Must be a summer place, not many people around in January.

It's on the most direct route and it was driven by hunger. A statue of Elvis meets you at the door.

I've only been to Chicago (flew in) and its NW suburbs and also drove through IL on I-70. I-70 was unremarkable there, but then you get the lovely carrot of St Louis at the end.

The few that were working were probably underground in the mines. Since you lived to write about it I assume you aren't black, Benton being in Franklin County and all... .. if you do that drive again we're about another hour south and you're welcome to stop for ice tea or a swim or to stay over and save a hotel bill.

The good part is south of I-64.

I've lived her 33 years and only been to Chicago once, because the band I worked with had a gig in Millenium Park.

Nashville, Memphis, Indianapolis, St.Louis, north Mississippi are all hours closer than Chicago. In more than the geographic sense.

We'll take you to the Eclipse Cafe for some biscuits and gravy and local color.

Thanks for the offer, I'll keep that in mind next time.

We just had a hilarious romp through the american political landscape this past 12 months
Ending in a con-man TV personality winning the election
and becoming the leader of the free world

two of the most offensive human beings that could possibly stand opposite a podium to each other
just spent small fortunes embarrassing themselves further than thought previously possible
one pretending to represent women and enlightenment
the other pretending to care about the people

Everybody has an opinion on what just happened
most of the opinions are unintentionally funny



does it really matter..?

Not for me - but I have no mortgage, no debts, an empty nest, and friends to jam with out of the neighbors earshot. These United States been berry berry good to me.

No and totally agree.

Very much, you're too far north. Come on down for a visit and we'll get a cooler of local craft beer, some of the Little Egypt religious weed and take a drive on some back roads right out of a calendar photo.
